Yoshi's Egg: Difference between revisions

In addition, Yoshis can lay eggs after eating [[fruit (Yoshi food)|berries]]. A [[Super Mushroom]] will hatch from the egg if ten red berries are eaten. In the GBA port, the type of power-up is dependent on the Yoshi's color. If two pink berries are eaten, the egg will hatch a [[Yoshi Cloud]]. When the egg is expelled, it acts as a projectile. It can defeat enemies or activate blocks until it hatches.

Yoshi's Eggs appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as projectiles for Yoshi. They can be acquired by eating enemies and swallowing them to turn into eggs. Unlike in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Yoshi can carry only one egg at a time and must throw the egg in order to eat any other enemies. Thrown eggs will home in on enemies onscreen and can bounce off enemies to hit another. If Yoshi swallows a wooden [[crate]], the egg will take the form of a cube and slide across the ground in a similar manner when thrown. A Yoshi's Egg will automatically disappear if Yoshi collects a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] or puts on a cap; however, the egg is not affected if Yoshi grabs a [[Super Mushroom]].

Yoshis return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', hatching from a Yoshi's Egg when a player hits a [[? Block]] containing one. They behave similarly to the eggs in ''Super Mario World'', in which Yoshi also hatches from an egg spawned from a certain block. If Mario already has a Yoshi, the egg will produce a power-up instead. If the player's Yoshi eats five [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruits]], it will lay an egg containing a power-up. Eggs appear in the levels [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|1-3]], [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|2-5]], [[World 3-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|3-2]], [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|4-5]], [[World 6-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|6-4]], and [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|7-6]]. Eggs also come out briefly during the opening scene of Peach's birthday. It is notable that there is a larger than usual egg next to Mario wrapped in a bow.

Yoshi's Eggs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', enabling players to use [[Yoshi]]. They can only be used in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' styles, as they are replaced by [[Goomba's Shoe]]s in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styles. If an egg (or Yoshi) is crushed, such as from a [[Thwomp]] or a falling [[Bill Blaster]], it will disappear. When a Super Mushroom is dragged onto a Yoshi's Egg, it becomes a big Yoshi's Egg which hatches into two Yoshis that will run like they were hit by an enemy. Although more than one Yoshi's Egg can be placed, only two can actually hatch, while the others disappear upon hatching. A Yoshi's Egg on a track does not hatch until the player touches it, knocking it off of the track. A Yoshi's Egg in a [[Koopa Clown Car]] also does not hatch until it is removed from it.

Unlike games that preceded it, Yoshi's eggs in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', are used as projectile weapons that are used by aiming and firing. Yoshis can lay eggs by swallowing enemies. Yoshis can also obtain these eggs by hitting an [[Egg Block]] that contains an unlimited supply of eggs and from [[Egg Plant]]s that spit out eggs. Yoshis can only carry six eggs at any time. Eggs can also fall into [[tulip]]s in this game, resulting in the tulip spitting out [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s. There is the standard green egg, [[Yellow Egg]]s, [[Red Egg]]s, and [[Flashing Egg]]s. Each of the eggs, except the green egg, has a different effect. When thrown, green eggs bounce off surrounding surfaces two consecutive times before falling off-screen, turning yellow with the first bounce and red after the second. [[Giant Egg]]s also make an appearance when a [[Fat Guy]] is eaten and during the final battle with Big [[Baby Bowser]].

Yoshi's eggs are laid automatically in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', but are still used as projectile weapons. Unlike in ''[[Super Mario World 2]]'', the eggs hold no special effects; although eggs thrown by the White and Black Yoshis have more of an explosive impact. In the [[Yoshi Demo|tech demo port]], the eggs indicate Yoshi's health alongside the [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|Smile Meter]].

Yoshi eggs reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where they once again serve as a main weapon, where the act the same as they did in previous ''Yoshi's Island'' games. Additionally, there is also a new egg variant called [[Mega Eggdozer]]s. They can be used to destroy several giant items and enemies.

Yoshi's Eggs reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', where they act the same as they did in previous ''Yoshi'' games, although they can now be thrown at the items in the back and foregrounds. In addition, after throwing an egg at a surface such as a wall, Yoshi can jump off the egg as it bounces off that surface to gain extra height.<ref>NintendoUK (April 28, 2019). [https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1122440426647105536 In #Yoshi's Crafted World you can use eggs for pretty much everything, from getting rid of enemies to scaling tall obstacles. Why not try both at once?] ''Twitter.'' Retrieved April 28, 2019.</ref> In this game, there are four different colors of Yoshi eggs: green, red, gold, and blue.

Additionally, throughout the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Yoshi enters stages at the beginning of every match by hatching from a Yoshi's Egg.

An egg is a projectile used by [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Only the computer may use eggs, and Yoshi has an unlimited supply of them. The egg is a "special" item, but all special items in the game are exclusive to CPU controlled drivers. It has the same function than a [[Banana]].

Yoshi's Eggs reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of [[Yoshi]], [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]], [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]], Yoshi (Reindeer), Yoshi (Egg Hunt), and [[Mii|Yoshi Mii Racing Suit]], functioning the same way as in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' When Yoshi's Egg+ is active, the egg is bigger and drops an extra item after hitting something. The Egg 1 also appears in the game as a Super kart. The [[Eggshell Glider]] resembles the top part of a Yoshi's Egg. Yoshi's Eggs also appear as background elements in N64 Yoshi Valley.

===''Mario Tennis Open''===

Yoshi eggs appear in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' during the animations of the colored Yoshis winning the Champions Cup and Final Cup. They eat the trophy and lay an egg that breaks and reveals the trophy. The spots on the eggs have the same color as their respective Yoshis.

During [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] special shot, the Eggschanger, when the ball lands near other balls, the balls turn into Yoshi Eggs. When transformed, the ball will wobble when bounced. They are also used during the Egg Rush event in Battle Golf. These balls are known as Egg Balls in the Target Golf mode.

Yoshi eggs serve as the objectives of the [[Dream Equestrian]] in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. In the event, players must race to the finish line, carrying a wagon full of seven colored Yoshis while avoiding obstacles. If an egg falls off the wagon, a 10 second penalty will be added to the player's time upon completing the event.

In the {{media link|The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg|teaser poster}} for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a Yoshi's Egg can be seen in the antiques store.
